2005 von der Künstlerin Carla Cruz initiiert, problematisiert AMIW Genderkonstruktionen und Machtverhältnisse in der Kunst. Es positioniert sich als feministische politische Plattform und verweigert sich dem Wunsch nach Zugehörigkeit zur diskriminierenden Kunstwelt. So erprobt es andere Wege der Darstellung von hu’wo’man Kunstproduktionen.
We ask, can feminist art* save the world, and if so, how?, and issue an invitation to artists, activists and academics to respond. Please send 300-word proposals for papers and presentations. Deadline 31st October 2010.

Why: We need mentors! I have been searching the Internet to try to find queer female artists and come up short. We all need mentors and peers to bounce ideas off of and to enforce the notion that we do exist and we can succeed. We deserve representation!
Drawing on the impact of postcolonial feminism and its enactments, this conference will examine how women are affected by political systems in a global climate, how feminism translates and moves across borders, and how feminism can be utilised as a methodology for understanding the transnational context.
Here the transnational is understood to be a complication of notions of the 'elsewhere', highlighting the challenges of fluidity, movement and instability whilst also paying close attention to locatedness. This is a feminism that is engaged with the woman-as-subject without making universalising claims regarding women's experience; it both considers how gender operates and critiques categorisation.
at Ballhaus Naunynstraße, Berlin
August 28th–30th 2009
The conference will develop a queer-theoretical perspective on contemporary art practices. Four art and queer theorists will intensely and publicly work with, on, and about four art works, which will be on display during the conference. A film and performance programme and a workshop will bring in further perspectives, artistic material and visual/linguistic practices.

WANT TO WORK ON AN EXHIBITION OF 1980s RADICAL ANTI-IMPERIALIST MEDIA??!! Outwrite newspaper, produced by a collective of women throughout the 1980s, was dedicated to offering news by women, for women. Self-defined as an ‘internationlist feminist’ publication, the paper focused on ‘the development of feminism worldwide’ and an examination of women’s oppressions ‘in the context of imperialism, racism and class divisions.’ The goal of this exhibition is to bring Outwrite’s politics alive in the present, to reflect on its struggles and successes with the aim of igniting future possibilities.
